  • Has this show ended?

    I did love this series and I have it on whilst I’m working but it seems like everything is repeats now and ‘fan favourites’ I’ve heard on YouTube or other MrBallen channels. Can you let everyone know what’s going on?

  • Hello?!?!?

    Where are the new episodes?!? Used to love this podcast. I hate to break it to you, but if anyone has a favorite episode, they can just GO BACK and listen it. We don’t need you to replay old episodes for us, it’s insulting and a complete letdown when you see there’s a new episode posted only to find out it’s something you’ve already heard… and then do it for eight weeks?!?Unsubscribing.

  • Script needs help

    Topics are always interesting and that much I enjoy. I do get slightly annoyed at the unnecessary details in the script (e.g. “he walked down to his car and opened the door and got in then he drove to the hospital…”). If the script was a bit more concise, it’d be 5 stars…also the whole bit with the follow button is just ridiculously unnecessary.
